In the study, preschool children's interactions with their parents, developmental and educational needs were examined through parental views during the pandemic process. Using the appropriate sampling method, parents (N=275) whose children's pre-school education was interrupted during the pandemic period were reached. The questionnaire form prepared by the researchers was used to determine the opinions of the parents within the scope of the purpose of the study. The answers of the parents were analyzed by descriptive analysis. As a result of the study, parents defined that children missed the activities in which their were in social interaction, they often chatted and played games with their children during the confinement period. Parents defined that they can evaluate different alternatives for their children's education, such as homeschooling. It has been determined that although the quality and amount of time spent by parents with their children has increased, they feel inadequate to support their children's social-emotional development. The results show that parents are concerned about their children's educational needs and expect more support.
